AMC Orders 'Low Winter Sun' Series

AMC has given the go-ahead to former "Criminal Minds" producer Chris Mundy's crime drama "Low Winter Sun" with a 10-episode series order, the network said Friday.

The series, which will star "Zero Dark Thirty" actor Mark Strong (pictured) and Lennie James ("Hung," "The Walking Dead"), is based on a two-part British miniseries of the same name. The series begins with the murder of a Detroit police officer by his fellow detective, then follows the murderer as the consequences of his crime drag him into the Detroit underworld.

Mundy will serve as the series' showrunner, writing and executive producing. The project is a co-production of AMC Studio and Endemol Studios, with Endemol's head of creative affairs Jeremy Gold overseeing the project with Tiger Aspect head of drama Greg Brenman.
